I've been using Gnome and gpm for months without issues. It works perfectly with every X application I use. I didn't use gpmconfig either, I set it up using XF86Setup and here's my mouse section in XF86Config: Section "Pointer" Protocol "Microsoft" Device "/dev/mouse" BaudRate 1200 Emulate3Timeout 50 Resolution 100 Buttons 3 Emulate3Buttons EndSection [I even copied that section over to emacs from a terminal window with the mouse] I believe I've used gpmdata as the device before and it worked too. My PC is a Dell Latitude CPx J series with both the touchpad and 'eraser head' style mice along with the PS2 interface to plug a regular mouse in. It all works perfectly. jc
